Let There be Fireworks…and Peace

Share this post:

When looking for an image for the 4th of July, I found many wonderful images, but I wanted something more than just fireworks. I wanted an image that showed people celebrating together despite their differences.

When I found this image of Uncle Sam and John Bull embracing, I realized I’d found what I was looking for: two bitter enemies who fought a war over the United States of America, coming together as friends and finding common ground.

I hope you have a wonderful and peaceful Independence Day.
